Brava Valentine

Adriana Trigiani

A cute holiday read.  This was the perfect unwind for a few minutes at the end of a long day book.  It was fun, sweet and not challenging in any way.  It even involved celebrating the holidays, but you also got to escape to Italy and South America.  This was the second in a series and I enjoyed it.  I liked that it had a little more meat to while still remaining fun and overall light hearted.  I do hate that people are so laid back about the commitment that a marriage is, but this is a cheesy novel so I won't get up on my soap box.  And, I did love the story of her parents working through a challenge in their marriage rather than giving up!
